Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Hello My concern is that water is not the best drink to have after an ashtanga practice. Ive been told that the body loses a lot of nutrients whilst parcticing, through sweating mainly, and there are more efficient drinks to rehydrate the body and refuel. Im not sure which ones though. There are a lot of energy drinks on the market. In the UK there are things like Lucozade and then there are those drinks which are for athletes, sportspeople and weightlifters. Some are protein drinks and others are more energy drinks consisting of mainly dextrose I think. There are others that I dont know about, but which ones are o.k and consistent with ashtanga yoga? Are any of them, or should one be drinking more natural things like fruit and vegetable juices to do the job along with water? Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Otherwise, any fruit juice mixed half & half with water makes a fresh & adequate 'sports drink'. Om Shanti ... Yogini Shakti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
